Elizabeth Adkins-Regan (biologist)

Elizabeth Adkins-Regan is a biologist specializing in neurobiology and animal behavior, particularly in birds. She studies how hormones influence brain processes and behavior, such as mating, aggression, and communication. Her research helps us understand how biological factors shape behavior across species, with a focus on avian models like quail. By examining these mechanisms, she provides insights into the neural and hormonal bases of behavior, which can also inform understanding of human brain function and development.
